Style in Handbooks

Brooks  

Focuses on the importance and ability to deliver sentences correctly and effectively for students in high school. The author sets standards that sentences should have unity, coherence and emphasis; what are the key factors that causes lack of unity and coherence on sentences; and how to successfully secure emphasis.  

Hill,

Focuses on improving styles for more experienced writers by selecting appropriate words according to the audience, combining the words chosen to produce effective sentences, organizing sentences to form concise paragraphs, adding figurative language, and expression to deliver an effective paper.

DKHBStyle,

Focuses on improving styles for college student writers, especially by revising paragraphs, sentences, and words, for clarity, concision, coherence and emphasis. It also provides styles in oral presentation, visual text and colors choice.

From the three authors I like best the DKHBStyle. Not because I am a college student, but because the style/ organization chosen to explain about style. This organization was more effective for me, because of the visual information and the way the author had it grouped and delivered. Nevertheless, all authors seem to hit the same points, just in different ways to say it.
